Elyra: A matte silver drone would look pretty sharp against the open sky, but in forests or deserts it could still catch the eye if the light hits it just right. I’d keep it low and use the shadows to my advantage, and maybe add a thin layer that changes hue a bit when the angle shifts. That way it can slip past watchful eyes whether it’s over canopy or a desert plain. Just remember, the trick is to stay in the dark or the dim light, not the bright glare.

Elyra: Sounds solid. When you test it under those canopy lights, just check if the hue flickers or stays steady—patrol sensors pick up quick changes more than subtle shifts. If it stays consistent, the drone should slip right through. Let me know how it goes.
